AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Wildlife Research: West African countries, including Guinea-Bissau, renewed their commitment to vulture conservation at a regional workshop, aiming to turn the 2023–2043 action plan into practical, funded work. Agricultural Science: DNA analysis of droppings from 502 birds and bats in northern Guinea-Bissau found 87 rice-pest species among their prey, highlighting how the two groups can provide complementary pest control for local farmers. Vaccine Trial Halted: Guinea-Bissau cancelled a proposed US-funded hepatitis B study involving 14,000 newborns after ethical objections to delaying a WHO-recommended birth dose; the government said the project lacked the required approval. Power Access: A regional electrification project has improved service for nearly half a million people across Mali, Gambia and Guinea-Bissau, despite political tensions in the region.
